Live With Relief
We treat neck pain, back pain, headaches, and more with locations in Memorial City, The Woodlands, Cypress, and Alvin.
Each year more than 50 million Americans continue to suffer from chronic pain. Whether the result of sickness or injury, persistent pain is frustrating for both the patient and the caregiver. It not only causes tremendous stress, it can disrupt daily activities and make a normal life nearly impossible. When chronic pain reaches debilitating level, patients can benefit from the focused, individualized care provided by Pain Relief Associates.
Our team of physicians have the training and experience to provide relief for even the worst case conditions. When you come to Pain Relief Associates you can expect to receive the highest level of medical care available. If you feel like you have tried everything and there is no hope, before you give up, schedule an appointment today and experience the difference.

"Low back pain may arise from disorders of the sacroiliac joint in up to 30% of patients. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the nerves innervating the sacroiliac joint has been shown to be a safe and efficacious strategy.
Compared to the cooled radiofrequency ablation (c-RFA) technique, the new b-RFA technique reduced operating time by more than 50%, decreased x-ray exposure by more than 80%, and cut the cost by more than $1000 per case. The new method was associated with significantly improved clinical outcomes despite the limitations of the study design. Thus this new technique appeared to be safe, efficacious, and cost-effective."

"Probabilistic atlases of anatomical organs, especially the brain and the heart, have become popular in medical image analysis. We propose the construction of probabilistic atlases which retain structural variability by using a size-preserving modified affine registration. The organ positions are modeled in the physical space by normalizing the physical organ locations to an anatomical landmark. In this paper, a liver probabilistic atlas is constructed and exploited to automatically segment liver volumes from abdominal CT data. The atlas is aligned with the patient data through a succession of affine and non-linear registrations. The overlap and correlation with manual segmentations are 0.91 (0.93 DICE coefficient) and 0.99 respectively. Little work has taken place on the integration of volumetric measures of liver abnormality to clinical evaluations, which rely on linear estimates of liver height. Our application measures the liver height at the mid-hepatic line (0.94 correlation with manual measurements) and indicates that its combination with volumetric estimates could assist the development of a noninvasive tool to assess hepatomegaly."

"Extensive recent work has taken place on the construction of probabilistic atlases of anatomical organ. We propose a probabilistic atlas of ten major abdominal organs which retains structural variability by using a size-preserving affine registration, and normalizes the physical organ locations to an anatomical landmark. Restricting the degrees of freedom in the transformation, the bias from the reference data is minimized, in terms of organ shape, size and position. Additionally, we present a scheme for the study of anatomical variability within the abdomen, including the clusterization of the modes of variation. The analysis of deformation fields showed a strong correlation with anatomical landmarks and known mechanical deformations in the abdomen. The atlas and its dependencies represent a potentially important research tool for abdominal diagnosis, modeling and soft tissue interventions."

“26 October 2017 and 1 March 2020, two important dates that will be remembered for years to come, former signifying the declaration of opioid crisis as a public health emergency in the USA and latter when coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic in the USA. Since 1999, more than 750,000 have people died due to the opioid crisis and, as of May 2020, over 90,000 Americans’ lives have succumbed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two inherently distinct crises but ultimately unified with the commonality of creating suffering and death. It is obvious that COVID-19 has impacted all aspects of the human existence, particularly the healthcare arena including the patients, and more so the chronic pain patients. The full impact of the pandemic on this sub-population and ultimately the opioid crisis will reveal itself in the years to come, however at this juncture, it is critical to manage the needs of our patients and continue to provide physicians and other therapeutic access in traditional and nontraditional ways.”
